According to the scheme, after the first electronic device determines the playing source device, if the first electronic device determines that the second electronic device exists in the target direction, the first electronic device can automatically control the playing source device to share the content output by the playing source device to the second electronic device, so that the second electronic device can output the content output by the playing source device in real time, and the sharing is not required to be triggered manually by a user, so that the process of sharing the content between the electronic devices can be simplified, and the user experience is improved.

The communication system related to the embodiment of the invention is mainly a communication system for communication between electronic equipment. The communication system can comprise at least two electronic devices, and the at least two electronic devices can perform information interaction through a wireless network.

Fig. 1 shows a schematic diagram of a possible architecture of a UWB communication system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in fig. 1, the UWB communication system includes at least two electronic devices, for example, an electronic device 11, an electronic device 12, and an electronic device 13; each of the at least two electronic devices includes a UWB communication module therein. Therefore, the electronic devices in the communication system can realize UWB communication based on the UWB communication module included in the electronic devices.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the electronic device 12 may receive an identifier (hereinafter referred to as identifier 1) sent by the electronic device 11, and in a case that the electronic device 12 includes the identifier 1, determine that the electronic device 11 is a playback source device, then, the electronic device 12 may determine whether an electronic device exists in a target direction of the electronic device 12, if the electronic device 13 is in the target direction of the electronic device 12, the electronic device 12 may obtain the identifier of the electronic device 13, and control the electronic device 11 to share the content currently output by the electronic device 13, for example, the electronic device 12 may control the electronic device 11 to input the content currently output by the electronic device 11 to the electronic device 13 by sending indication information including the identifier of the electronic device 13 to the electronic device 11. Therefore, the electronic equipment 13 can output the content output by the electronic equipment 11 in real time, and the user does not need to manually trigger sharing, so that the process of sharing the content among the electronic equipment can be simplified, and the user experience is improved.

The electronic device in the embodiment of the invention can be a mobile electronic device or a non-mobile electronic device. For example, the mobile electronic device may be a mobile phone, a tablet computer, a notebook computer, a palm top computer, a vehicle-mounted terminal, a wearable device, an ultra-mobile personal computer (UMPC), a netbook or a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA), and the like, and the non-mobile electronic device may be a Personal Computer (PC), a Television (TV), a teller machine or a self-service machine, and the like, and the embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited.

The execution subject of the content sharing method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be the electronic device, or may also be a functional module and/or a functional entity capable of implementing the content sharing method in the electronic device, which may be determined specifically according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited. The following takes an electronic device as an example to exemplarily describe the content sharing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention.

The content sharing method provided by the embodiment of the invention can be executed in a scene that a user needs to share the content currently output by one electronic device to another electronic device.

Specifically, the content sharing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention may be executed in the following two scenarios (i.e., scenario 1 and scenario 2).

Scene 1:

in this embodiment of the present invention, if a user needs to share a content currently output by one electronic device (for example, a first electronic device in this embodiment of the present invention) to another electronic device (for example, a second electronic device in this embodiment of the present invention); the user can trigger the first electronic device to determine whether a second electronic device exists in the target direction; if the first electronic device determines that the second electronic device exists in the target direction, the first electronic device can share the currently output content to the second electronic device, so that the second electronic device can output the content output by the playing source device in real time without manually triggering sharing by a user, and the process of sharing the content among the electronic devices can be simplified.

Scene 2

In this embodiment of the present invention, if a user needs to share a content currently output by one electronic device (for example, a playback source device in this embodiment of the present invention) to another electronic device (for example, a second electronic device in this embodiment of the present invention); the user may trigger another electronic device (e.g., the first electronic device in the embodiments of the present invention) to instruct the one electronic device to share the content it outputs to the other electronic device.

Specifically, the first electronic device may first determine whether a playback source device exists in a communication range of the first electronic device, and if the playback source device exists in the communication range of the first electronic device, the first electronic device may determine whether a second electronic device exists in a target direction of the first electronic device; therefore, if the second electronic device exists in the target direction of the first electronic device, the first electronic device can control the playing source device to share the content output by the playing source device to the second electronic device, so that the second electronic device can output the content output by the playing source device in real time without manually triggering sharing by a user, and the process of sharing the content among the electronic devices can be simplified.

The method for determining whether the play source device exists in the communication range of the first electronic device may include: whether the first electronic device receives the identifications which are transmitted by other electronic devices in the communication range and used for indicating the other electronic devices is determined, and if any identification is not received, the first electronic device can determine that no playing source device exists in the communication range. If the identifier (e.g., the first identifier in the embodiment of the present invention) is received, the first electronic device may further determine whether the stored identifier of the first electronic device includes the first identifier. If the identifier stored in the first electronic device includes the first identifier, the first electronic device may determine that the play source device exists in the communication range of the first electronic device; if the identifier stored in the first electronic device does not include the first identifier, the first electronic device may determine that the playback source device does not exist within the communication range of the first electronic device.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, the communication range of the first electronic device is within a preset distance range with the position of the first electronic device as a center.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, in the scenario 1 and the scenario 2, the target direction is determined according to a position where the first electronic device is located. If the first electronic device determines that the second electronic device does not exist in the target direction, the first electronic device may output a prompt message to prompt the user to update the position (i.e., location and/or orientation) of the first electronic device. Thus, the first electronic device can re-determine the target direction according to the updated position of the first electronic device; and determining the second electronic device according to the redetermined target direction.

The content sharing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 2, an embodiment of the present invention provides a content sharing method, which may include S201 to S203 described below.

S201, the first electronic device determines a play source device.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first electronic device may be a wearable electronic device, and for example, may be smart glasses or a smart helmet. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

In the embodiment of the invention, the play source equipment is any electronic equipment which outputs the content at present.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the playback source device may be the same electronic device as the first electronic device (mode one), or may be an electronic device different from the first electronic device (mode two), which may be determined specifically according to actual usage requirements, and this embodiment of the present invention is not limited. For example, in scenario 1, the playback source device is the same electronic device as the first electronic device. In the scenario 2, the playback source device is an electronic device different from the first electronic device.

The following exemplarily describes a method for determining a playback source device by a first electronic device in combination with the first and second modes, respectively.

The first method is as follows: the playing source equipment is the same electronic equipment as the first electronic equipment

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first electronic device is a playback source device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when the first electronic device is started, it may be regarded that the first electronic device determines that the playback source device is completed, that is, after the first electronic device is started, the first electronic device may automatically determine that the first electronic device is the playback source device, that is, in this case, the first electronic device is the playback source device.

The second method comprises the following steps: the play source device is an electronic device different from the first electronic device

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the step S201 may be specifically implemented by the following steps S201a to S201 c.

S201a, the first electronic device receives the first identifier sent by the third electronic device.

The first identifier may be used to indicate a third electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the number of the third electronic devices is not limited. That is, the number of the third electronic devices may be one or more. Accordingly, the number of the first marks may be one, and may be multiple.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, one first identifier indicates one third electronic device, and different first identifiers indicate different electronic devices.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first identifier may be an identifier of the third electronic device, or may be an identifier of a communication module (for example, may be an UWB communication module) included in the third electronic device, which may be any identifier that can uniquely indicate the third electronic device, and may be specifically determined according to actual use requirements, and this embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the first identifier is sent by the third electronic device, if the first electronic device receives the first identifier sent by the third electronic device, the first electronic device may determine that the third electronic device is in a power-on state, so as to determine that the third electronic device is outputting content (for example, displaying a picture, playing music, playing a video, and the like).

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the method for the first electronic device to receive the first identifier sent by the third electronic device may include the following method 1 and method 2.

The method comprises the following steps: each electronic device in the communication system periodically transmits a broadcast message, where the broadcast message may carry an identifier of a sender, and the broadcast message may be used to determine whether there are other electronic devices in the vicinity of the sender (e.g., within a preset distance range centered around the sender). Specifically, after the first electronic device sends the broadcast message, if other electronic devices exist near the first electronic device, taking the third electronic device as an example, after the third electronic device receives the broadcast message, the third electronic device may reply a response message to the first electronic device, where the response message carries an identifier of the third electronic device. After the first electronic device receives the response message sent by the third electronic device, the first electronic device may obtain the identifier of the third electronic device from the response message.

The method 2 comprises the following steps: each electronic device in the communication system periodically transmits a broadcast message, which may include an identifier of the sender, and may be used to determine whether other electronic devices exist near the sender (e.g., within a preset distance range centered around the sender). Specifically, when the first electronic device receives other electronic devices located nearby, taking the third electronic device as an example, after the broadcast message is sent, the first electronic device may obtain the identifier of the third electronic device from the broadcast message.

S201b, the first electronic device determines whether the stored identifier thereof includes the first identifier.

In the embodiment of the present invention, at least one identifier may be stored in the first electronic device, where each identifier in the at least one identifier may indicate one electronic device, and different identifiers may be used to indicate different electronic devices.

In the embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the first identifier, the first electronic device may first determine whether the stored identifier includes the first identifier. If the first identifier is included in the identifiers stored in the first electronic device, the first electronic device may continue to perform S201c described below. If the first identifier is not included in the identifiers stored in the first electronic device, the first electronic device may output first prompt information to inquire whether the user needs to store the first identifier; in this case, if the user triggers the first electronic device to store the first identifier, the first electronic device may continue to execute S201c described below after storing the first identifier, and if the user does not trigger the first identifier to be stored, the first electronic device may return to S201a to continue the execution.

S201c, the first electronic device determines that the third electronic device is a playback source device.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, in a possible manner, when the number of the third electronic devices is multiple, the first electronic device may determine, as the play source device, a third electronic device with a highest frequency of the history shared content among the third electronic devices. In another possible manner, the first electronic device may sort the stored identifiers, and thus, when the number of the third electronic devices is multiple, the identifier stored by the first electronic device may include multiple first identifiers, so that the first electronic device may determine, as the play-source device, the third electronic device indicated by the first identifier sorted at the top among the multiple first identifiers. It is to be understood that the first electronic device may also determine, in any other possible manner, one play source device from the plurality of third electronic devices, which may be determined according to actual usage requirements, and the embodiment of the present invention is not limited thereto.

In the embodiment of the invention, the first electronic equipment can automatically determine the playing source equipment according to the identification sent by other electronic equipment without manually selecting the playing source equipment by a user, so that the process of determining the playing source equipment can be simplified.

Further, since the playback source device can be determined based on the identifier uniquely indicating the electronic device, the accuracy of determining the playback source device can be improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, after the first electronic device determines the play source device, it may be determined whether an electronic device exists in the target direction of the first electronic device, and if an electronic device (for example, a second electronic device described below) exists in the target direction, the first electronic device may continue to execute S202 described below. If the electronic device does not exist in the target direction, the first electronic device may output second prompt information to prompt the user that there is no electronic device capable of receiving the shared content in the target direction of the first electronic device.

S202, the first electronic device determines a second electronic device located in the target direction of the first electronic device.

The target direction may be determined according to a position of the first electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the target direction changes with a change of an orientation of the first electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the target direction may be used to indicate a direction in which a face of a user using the first electronic device faces.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, after the first electronic device determines the play source device, a location system in which the first electronic device is located may be used to determine a location (for example, coordinate information) of an electronic device within a communication range of the first electronic device, so as to determine that the second electronic device is located in the target direction of the first electronic device according to the location. In the embodiment of the present invention, a ray direction of the first electronic device pointing to the second electronic device is the target direction.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, when the number of the electronic devices located in the target direction of the first electronic device is multiple, the first electronic device may determine the electronic device closest to the first electronic device as the second electronic device, or may determine all of the multiple electronic devices as the second electronic device, which may be determined specifically according to actual usage requirements, and this embodiment of the present invention is not limited.

A specific method for determining the target direction by the first electronic device will be described in detail in the following embodiments, and details are not repeated herein to avoid redundancy.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the target direction may be any direction relative to the first electronic device. Specifically, the target direction may be an upward direction with respect to the first electronic device, a downward direction with respect to the first electronic device, a leftward direction with respect to the first electronic device, or any other possible direction. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, if the target directions are different, the second electronic device determined by the electronic device is also different. Fig. 3 is a schematic diagram of a position relationship of an electronic device. If the target direction is a left direction relative to the first electronic device, the first electronic device 30 may determine that the electronic device 31 located at the left side (i.e. the target direction) of the first electronic device 30 is the second electronic device. If the target direction is a direction to the right (i.e., the target direction) with respect to the first electronic device, the first electronic device 30 may determine that the electronic device 32 located at the right side of the first electronic device 30 is the second electronic device.

Note that an arrow 33 in fig. 3 indicates a leftward direction with respect to the first electronic device, and an arrow 34 in fig. 3 indicates a rightward direction with respect to the first electronic device.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the second electronic device may be a device that the user needs to share the content, that is, the user needs to share the content currently output by the playback source device to the second electronic device.

S203, the first electronic device controls the play source device to share the target content to the second electronic device.

The target content may be a content currently output by the playback source device.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the content currently output by the playback source device may be content in a visual form or may be content in an auditory form. For example, the visual form of the content may be a video, a picture, a user interface, text, or a power-on screen. The content in audible form may be music or video or the like. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the play source device may share the target content with the second electronic device in any possible communication manner, such as a UWB communication manner, a wi-fi communication manner, and an L TE communication manner.

In the embodiment of the invention, because the UWB communication mode can adopt nanosecond-level non-sinusoidal wave narrow pulses for information transmission, if the play source device can adopt the UWB communication mode to share the target content to the second electronic device, the high-speed and low-delay transmission of the target content can be ensured, so that the output effect of the target content on the second electronic device is ensured to be better, and the user experience is improved.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, when UWB communication is adopted among the first electronic device, the playback source device, and the second electronic device, distances between any two electronic devices among the first electronic device, the playback source device, and the second electronic device are all smaller than or equal to the maximum UWB communication distance. Therefore, the communication quality of communication between any two electronic equipment of the first electronic equipment, the playing source equipment and the second electronic equipment can be ensured to be good.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present invention, in the first mode, the step S203 may be specifically implemented by the step S203a described below.

S203a, the first electronic device sends the target indication information to the playback source device.

The target indication information may be used to indicate the playback source device to share the target content with the second electronic device.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, after receiving the target indication message, the playback source device may share the currently output content with the second electronic device.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first electronic device may send the target indication message to the play source device in any possible communication manner, such as a UWB communication manner, a wi-fi communication manner, and an L TE communication manner.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the target indication message may include an identifier (hereinafter, referred to as a second identifier) indicating the second electronic device. Therefore, the accuracy of the target content shared by the playing source device to the second electronic device can be ensured.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, before the first electronic device sends the target indication information to the play source device, the second identifier is obtained first. For the method for acquiring the second identifier by the first electronic device, reference may be made to the description related to the method for acquiring the first identifier by the first electronic device in the foregoing embodiment, and details are not repeated here to avoid repetition.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the target indication message includes the second identifier indicating the second electronic device, the accuracy of controlling, by the first electronic device, the playing source device to share the target content with the second electronic device can be ensured.

It can be understood that, in the first embodiment of the present invention, in the first embodiment, the electronic device located in the target direction of the first electronic device may be the playback source device, that is, the playback source device is the same as the second electronic device, that is, the content currently output by the second electronic device is the target content. Therefore, if the first electronic device sends the target indication message to the play source device, network resources are wasted.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, in the first mode, to avoid wasting network resources, the above-mentioned S203a may be specifically implemented by the following S203a1 and S203a 2.

S203a1, the first electronic device determines whether the second electronic device is the same as the playback source device.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, after determining the second electronic device, the first electronic device may first determine whether the second electronic device is the same as the play source device; if the second electronic device is the same as the play source device, the first electronic device may re-determine the second electronic device, that is, return to S202 to continue execution; if the second electronic device is different from the playback source device, the first electronic device may continue to perform S203a2 described below.

Specifically, after the first electronic device determines the second electronic device, the second identifier indicating the second electronic device may be acquired from the second electronic device. Then, the first electronic device may compare the second identifier with the first identifier, and if the second identifier is the same as the first identifier, it indicates that the second electronic device is the same as the playback source device. And if the second identifier is different from the first identifier, the second electronic equipment is different from the playing source equipment.

S203a2, the first electronic device sends the target indication message to the play source device.

For the description of S203a2, reference may be made to the related description in S203a, and details are not repeated here to avoid repetition.

In the embodiment of the invention, the first electronic device sends the target indication information to the play source device only when the play source device and the second electronic device are different electronic devices, so that the play source device can be accurately controlled to share the target content with the second electronic device, and network resources can be saved.

The content sharing method provided by the embodiment of the present invention is exemplarily described below with reference to fig. 4 and 5.

Exemplarily, in the first mode, it is assumed that the electronic device 3, the electronic device 4, and the electronic device 5 are included in the communication range of the first electronic device, and the target direction is an upward direction with respect to the first electronic device. Then, as shown in (a) of fig. 4, the first electronic device 40 may determine the first electronic device 40 as a play source device and determine the electronic device 4 located above the first electronic device 40 as a second electronic device.

So that electronic device 3, after receiving the indication message, can share its currently displayed content with electronic device 4.

In this case, S204 can be specifically realized by S204a and S204b described below.

S204a, the first electronic device determines a first straight line where the first UWB communication module and the second UWB communication module are located according to the UWB coordinate information of the first UWB communication module and the UWB coordinate information of the second UWB communication module.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the first straight line in which the first UWB communication module and the second UWB communication module are located is a straight line determined by a connection line of the UWB coordinate information of the first UWB communication module and the UWB coordinate information of the second UWB communication module.

Exemplarily, as shown in fig. 7, it is assumed that the position of the first UWB communication module is point a and the position of the second UWB communication module is point B; the first line may be the line 50 defined by points a and B.

S204b, the first electronic device determines, as the target direction, a direction in which the first straight line points, the direction being the same as the first preset direction.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the direction indicated by the first straight line includes two directions, which are respectively: the first UWB communication module is directed in a direction of the second UWB communication module and the second UWB communication module is directed in a direction of the first UWB communication module.

Exemplarily, as shown in fig. 7, it is assumed that the position of the first UWB communication module is point a and the position of the second UWB communication module is point B; the UWB coordinate information of the point A is (x1, y1, z1), the UWB coordinate information of the point B is (x2, y2, z 2); then, the first straight line 50 is directed in the direction in which point a points to point B, i.e., in the direction indicated by arrow 52; and point B points in the direction of point a, which is indicated by arrow 51.

Alternatively, in the embodiment of the present invention, the first preset direction may be a direction in which the first UWB communication module points to the second UWB communication module, or may be a direction in which the second UWB communication module points to the first UWB communication module. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

Specifically, as shown in fig. 8, the smart glasses 60 may include two rims 61 and two temples 62. One end of each of the two temples is respectively connected with the corresponding lens ring of the temple. Then, the first UWB communication module 63 and the second UWB communication module 64 may be respectively provided at both ends of one temple 62.

If the first preset direction is a direction in which the first UWB communication module points to the second UWB communication module, the smart glasses 60 may determine that the target direction is a direction indicated by an arrow 65 in fig. 8; if the first preset direction is a direction in which the second UWB communication module points to the first UWB communication module, the target direction may be a direction indicated by an arrow 66 in fig. 8. Since the first preset direction is used to indicate the gaze direction of the user, the first preset direction is generally the direction indicated by arrow 66.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the first preset direction may be used to represent a gazing direction of a user, so that a target direction determined by the first electronic device according to UWB coordinate information of two UWB communication modules in the first electronic device and the first preset direction may be the gazing direction of the user, so that the second electronic device determined by the first electronic device according to the target direction may meet a user requirement, and thus, user experience may be improved.

For example, assuming that the position of the first UWB communication module is point a, the position of the second UWB communication module is point B, and the position of the third UWB communication module is point C, as shown in (a) of fig. 9, a line between point a and point B may constitute a hypotenuse of the right triangle, a line between point a and point C may constitute one cathetus of the right triangle, and a line between point B and point C may constitute the other cathetus of the right triangle.

Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the step S204 may be specifically implemented by the following steps S204c to S204 e.

S204c, the first electronic device determines UWB coordinate information of a perpendicular point of the third UWB communication module on the hypotenuse of the right triangle, based on the UWB coordinate information of the first UWB communication module, the UWB coordinate information of the second UWB communication module, and the UWB coordinate information of the third UWB communication module.

The hypotenuse of the right triangle is a line segment connecting the UWB coordinate information of the first UWB communication module and the UWB coordinate information of the second UWB communication module.

S204d, the first electronic device determines a second straight line where the third UWB communication module and the vertical point are located according to the UWB coordinate information of the third UWB communication module and the UWB coordinate information of the vertical point.

In an embodiment of the present invention, the vertical point is a vertical point of the third UWB communication module on a hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Optionally, in this embodiment of the present invention, the second straight line is a straight line defined by a connection line between the UWB coordinate information of the third UWB communication module and the UWB coordinate information of the vertical point.

For example, as shown in (b) of fig. 9, assuming that the position of the third UWB communication module is point C, the position of the above-mentioned perpendicular point is point P, the UWB coordinate information of point C is (0, 0, 0), and the UWB coordinate information of point P is (0, 2, 5), then the first electronic device may determine the second straight line 90 from the UWB coordinate information of point P and the UWB coordinate information of point C.

S204e, the first electronic device determines, as the target direction, a direction in which the second straight line points, the direction being the same as the second preset direction.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the direction indicated by the second straight line is two directions, which are respectively: the third UWB communication module points in the direction of the vertical point, which points in the direction of the third UWB communication module. For example, as shown in (b) of fig. 9, the direction of the second straight line 90 is a direction in which the point C points to the point P, i.e., a direction indicated by an arrow 91, and a direction in which the point P points to the point C, i.e., a direction indicated by an arrow 92.

Optionally, in an embodiment of the present invention, the second preset direction may be a direction in which the third UWB communication module points to the vertical point, or a direction in which the vertical point points to the third UWB communication module. The method can be determined according to actual use requirements, and the embodiment of the invention is not limited.

For example, as shown in (b) of fig. 9, when the second preset direction is a direction in which the third UWB communication module points to the above-mentioned perpendicular point, the first electronic device may determine a direction shown by an arrow 91 as a target direction; when the second preset direction is a direction in which the above-mentioned vertical point points to the third UWB communication module, the first electronic device may determine the direction indicated by the arrow 92 as the target direction.

Then, the first UWB communication module 83 may be disposed on the connection area 84 between the two lens rims 81, and the second UWB communication module 85 and the third UWB communication module 86 may be disposed at both ends of the same temple.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, when the temple of the smart glasses is in the unfolded state, the first UWB communication module, the second UWB communication module and the third UWB communication module may form a right triangle.

In the embodiment of the present invention, since the three UWB communication modules are located in the same plane, it is possible to ensure accuracy of determining, as the target direction, a direction in which the second straight line points, which is the same as the second preset direction.

It should be noted that, in the embodiment of the present invention, in the above one possible implementation manner and the above another possible implementation manner, a method for determining the target direction by the UWB positioning system by the first electronic device is exemplarily described by taking 2 UWB communication modules and 3 UWB communication modules provided in the first electronic device as an example.
